Finn's five flattens India

Steven Finn claimed his first five-wicket haul in one-day
international cricket as England dismissed India for 153 in
just 39.3 overs in the third match of the Carlton Mid Tri-
Series, in Brisbane.
Middlesex seamer Finn took 5-33 while James Anderson
returned 4-18 and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler bagged five
victims in an impressive all-round England display in the
field after India opted to bat first.
But for a sixth-wicket stand of 70 between Stuart Binny
(44) and captain MS Dhoni (32), India - who at one stage
were 67-5 - would have struggled to post 150.
England made the ideal start when Anderson, back in the
side in place of Chris Jordan, struck with the first ball of
his second over when Shikhar Dhawan nicked behind to
Buttler for a single.
The seamer's first six overs cost just 10 runs as Ajinkya
Rahane (33) and Ambati Rayudu (23) rebuilt in a patient
second-wicket stand of 56 off 12.2 overs.
Rahane rather gifted his wicket away, advancing down the
wicket to Finn, and miscuing to mid-on and Virat Kohli
(four) fell soon after, attempting to run the seamer down to
third man.
At 64-3, India needed to consolidate but spinner Moeen Ali
struck second ball, beating Suresh Raina with one that
turned and left the advancing batsman stranded - Buttler
completing the stumping.
Finn picked up his third wicket in the following over as
Rayudu's lengthy stay of 53 balls came to an end as he
edged a rising ball behind to put India in the mire at 67-5.
Binny struck three boundaries off four balls from Woakes
to give the innings some impetus and for 17.1 overs, he
and Dhoni stoutly resisted England's attempts to make
further in-roads.
But Finn returned to the attack to great effect in the 35th
over at the start of the batting powerplay by removing
Dhoni, who gloved down the leg-side, and bowling Axar
Patel first ball with one that came back through the gate
to hit off-stump.
Anderson castled Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the next over
before Morgan took a fine catch running back at mid-off to
end Binny's stay.
That wicket ensured that no bowler has taken more in ODI
matches between England and India, Anderson moving one
ahead of Flintoff's previous record of 37.
India were all out before the 40th over as Moeen Ali safely
held a difficult chance on the deep midwicket rope to give
Anderson his fourth wicket.
